Chapter 583 I’m afraid it’s too late
"What is Liangdi talking about?" Baoyu asked curiously.
Qin Zhao sighed: "I lament that my life will be difficult in the future."
Now that her suspicions were confirmed, she was wondering whether Wu Xirou would use her strength to kill her, the supporting actress, in the future?
Should she kill Wu Xirou first before Wu Xirou gets stronger?
But now Wu Xirou has no lethality at all. She is the heroine, and she is just cannon fodder. According to the plot of the book, she should have died long ago.
"How can it be difficult? In the past, the emperor suppressed His Highness the Crown Prince. When His Highness takes that position, no one can be more powerful than His Highness. His Highness also dotes on Liangdi, so Liangdi can't only dote on the harem?" Baoyu felt like this
There is absolutely no need to worry.
Qin Zhao lamented Baoyu's naive thinking: "How can you be sure that His Highness will always pamper me? By then, His Highness will have a harem of three thousand, and there will be a draft to recruit many new people. When His Highness has a new love, I will
The old man is not worth mentioning."
Baozhu wanted to laugh when she heard this. She couldn't help laughing: "I think that no matter how many new people come in, Liangdi will still be a unique existence in His Highness's heart."
"Don't talk about this useless topic. If one day I can't survive in the palace, I will leave the palace and live happily." Qin Zhao said free and easy.
She would never act based on Xiao Ce's face like she did in her previous life. If Xiao Ce really wanted to make her life unsatisfactory, she couldn't be depressed.
Mentality determines destiny, or so she believes.
"Liangdi should try the new snacks made by the slave." Baoyu then added: "If Liangdi is happy out of the palace, can she take the slave with her?"
Qin Zhao was silent, thinking it would be better not to talk about this topic. If Xiao Ce accidentally heard it, he would say that she wanted to run out of the palace all day long.
Baozhu was very good and immediately diverted Baoyu's attention. Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
That day, Xiao Ce went directly to Cihe Palace after going to court to discuss Princess Yonghe's marriage with the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother had the same idea as Xiao Ce, which was to get Princess Yonghe married as soon as possible, otherwise Princess Yonghe would be too old to get married after observing filial piety for three years.
Followed Princess Yonghe to Cihe Palace.
She understood the meaning of the imperial grandmother and the prince's brother, and thought about the process of dealing with Luo Yan, and said: "Everything will follow the imperial grandmother's arrangements."
The Queen Mother was originally worried that Princess Yonghe would not want to marry in a hurry. When she heard Princess Yonghe's answer, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, the Ai family will arrange your marriage as soon as possible, and I believe the emperor will also be happy to see you get married."
The emperor rarely wakes up these days and spends most of his time sleeping.
The Queen Mother specially chose a time when the Emperor was in good spirits to appear and talk about Princess Yonghe's marriage.
The emperor nodded silently and said in a low voice: "Being able to see Yonghe get married with my own eyes will fulfill my wish."
The Queen Mother also knew the emperor's feelings.
After Concubine Wan died, the relationship between mother and son fell to a freezing point. In the following years, the emperor was unwilling to talk to her.
After so many years, if I don’t say something now, I may never have the chance to say it clearly again in the future.
"Does the Emperor still suspect that the Ai family killed Concubine Wan?" The Queen Mother took the initiative to bring up this topic.
Hearing the word "Wan Fei", the emperor became excited.
But soon, he regained his composure: "What happened is over..."
"It has not happened in the past. The Ai family did not kill Concubine Wan." Next, the Queen Mother told Qin Zhao's reasoning.
Aunt Li made a special trip back to Cihe Palace and handed the bloody handkerchief to the emperor.
It's a pity that the emperor's eyesight is not good and he can't see clearly.
"I don't believe it was the imperial concubine who killed Concubine Wan." The emperor struggled to get up, his face turning red.
"The Ai family has not found any evidence yet, so we cannot convict the concubine. The emperor has protected the concubine all his life. If the concubine is the murderer of Concubine Wan, will the emperor still protect the concubine?" The Queen Mother hit the nail on the head.
The emperor was silent for a long time before saying: "It seems unfair to convict the imperial concubine based on the veil alone."
When the Queen Mother heard the emperor's words, she knew that the emperor still protected Concubine Wu in her heart.
"That's all, Emperor, think about it for yourself, how many times has the imperial concubine gotten into trouble over the years, and you helped her cover it up in the end?" The Queen Mother shook her head and sighed: "Perhaps the deceased is dead, and the living are the most important, even if this person is still alive.
He has done many bad things, and once killed Concubine Wan, whom you care about most."
As the Queen Mother walked away, it seemed that her sighs were still lingering in the Emperor's ears.
He couldn't remember many things about Concubine Wan clearly, and Concubine Wan's face had gradually become blurred. Over the years, he gave all his love to Concubine Wan and indulged her unconditionally.
He didn't know if this was a habit or if he really liked the imperial concubine that much.
The emperor's consciousness soon became blurry again.
Recently, he has been awake less and less, and often falls into a drowsy dream. There is nothing in the dream, only endless darkness...
The news that Princess Yonghe's marriage had been settled quickly spread throughout the harem, and the one who was attached was none other than Luo Yan.
After Luo Yan received the news, he didn't even have time to be excited and nervous before he started preparing for the wedding, and the Luo family didn't dare to neglect it at all.
After all, she was Princess Shang, who was married to the royal family, and she chose to have this marriage when the emperor was seriously ill. This shows that the emperor and the empress dowager valued this marriage very much.
Everyone in the Luo family here is busy with the wedding, and the palace is not very peaceful.
The most unhappy among them was Princess Yongchun, who went to Princess Yongning to tell her about the matter.
Princess Yongning listened quietly to Princess Yongchun's words, her expression was very calm and she said nothing.
Yongchun saw this and said angrily: "Don't you feel aggrieved? The imperial grandmother is busy arranging Yonghe's marriage. Isn't she afraid that the emperor will die..."
"Yongchun, don't talk nonsense!" Princess Yongning interrupted Princess Yongchun.
Princess Yongchun was unhappy, "I'm going to say it! Everyone with a discerning eye knows this fact. Why didn't the imperial grandmother think about it? You are also fifteen. The imperial grandmother only thought about organizing a wedding for Yonghe, but she never thought about the fact that you will be born this year. If your father is the emperor,
If there is an accident, you will have to observe mourning for three years. By then you will be eighteen, and I will be seventeen, too long past the age of marriage..."
Princess Yongning saw that she could not stop Princess Yongchun, so she simply remained silent so that Princess Yongchun could vent her anger at once.
It wasn't until Princess Yongchun said she was tired that she said, "Yonghe is older than the two of us. It's our turn to marry Yonghe first. This is normal. There's no point in arguing."
"But I'm just angry! Why was Yonghe not taken seriously before, but she got ahead of the two of us at the critical moment?" Princess Yongchun was itching with hatred.
She used to dislike Princess Yonghe and always felt that Princess Yonghe was an unlucky person who killed Concubine Wan soon after she was born.
Facts have proved that she was right, Princess Yonghe not only suppressed her biological mother, but also her sisters.
